MCQ
In gamma ray emission from a nucleus
  • there is no change in the proton number and the neutron number
  • B
    only the neutron number changes
  • C
    only the proton number changes
  • D
    both the neutron number and the proton number change

Answer

Correct option: A.
there is no change in the proton number and the neutron number
a
There is no change in the proton number and the neutron number as the $\gamma$ -emission takes place as a result of excitation or de-excitation of nuclei. $\gamma$ -rays have no charge or mass.
